Introduction

The 2^nd International Conference on Poultry and Fish Vaccinology and Diagnosis 2026 (2^nd ICPoFiVD) brings together global experts to explore innovative solutions in animal health, with a focus on poultry and aquaculture. Centered around the theme “Innovating Animal Health: Bridging Traditional Practices with Future Solutions in Vaccines, Therapeutics, and Surveillance,” the conference highlights recent advancements in diagnostics and vaccination technologies that are reshaping the industry. These developments not only open new avenues for research but also present challenges that must be addressed to ensure sustainable animal production. As animal health is closely tied to food security and the prevention of zoonotic diseases, the conference emphasizes the need for integrated approaches that go beyond conventional methods. With rising concerns such as antimicrobial resistance and emerging pathogens, the event provides a timely platform for farmers, scientists, veterinary professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and design practical strategies for the future. Through networking and interdisciplinary dialogue, 2^nd ICPoFiVD aims to strengthen innovation and resilience in veterinary science, supporting a healthier and more secure global food system.
